It's good advice, though we can sometimes get a bit paranoid.
Indeed, however as a representative of this company my official recommendation is to keep your computers up to date if they're online. My personal recommendation is to not use Windows, being that far fewer exploits target non-MS systems given their ~70% share of the desktop OS market.

Don't be paranoid, but maybe behave a little as though you are.

Be sensible about what websites you visit.

Don't click on links in emails unless you're very sure the email is genuine and even then, for preference, go directly to the website by your own route and log in by your usual way and carry out whatever actions then and there.


The usual caveats about passwords and the like are more about protecting your data on the 'Net than protecting your PC from malware.
Always good advice.
